Patient's question:
My child is still quite young. Recently, it was found that she has intestinal gas. The suggestion given is surgical treatment, but the child is still too young and is not very willing to undergo surgery. I would like to know how to treat intestinal gas in a 5-year-old girl.Doctor's answer:
Hello, pediatric small intestinal hernia is a type of hernia that is easy to reduce. It is a common and frequently occurring disease. Except for some infants, most of whom cannot treat it themselves, the causes include congenital factors and acquired factors, such as congenital peritoneal processus vaginalis, high lower edge of the internal oblique muscle, trauma, inflammation, infection, chronic cough, chronic constipation, etc. In addition to conservative treatment for infants, elderly people, and physically weak individuals, since the child is now 5 years old, surgical treatment is recommended.
